Use case

Send the shortlist as one link — and keep every recruiting link in one place

Recruiters move links all day: candidate profiles, portfolios and code samples, job descriptions, scorecards, interview kits, the careers page, salary benchmarks and a stack of sourcing tools. Linkbry keeps them organized per role and per client, and turns a shortlist into a single, password-protected page a hiring manager can open without logging into anything.

In short

Use Linkbry alongside your ATS: a folder per open role for candidate profiles and portfolios, a library of job descriptions, interview kits and sourcing tools, and shortlists shared with hiring managers as password-protected pages that expire when the role closes. Your private notes about candidates never appear on a shared page.

Linkbry’s list view of saved links, each with its site, description, tags, folder and save date.

What recruiters use Linkbry for

  • Candidate shortlists for hiring managers

    Save each candidate’s profile, portfolio or code sample into the role’s shortlist folder with a one-line summary as the description, then send the hiring manager one page. Set a password and an expiry date for when the role closes.

  • A page per client role

    Agency recruiters keep a folder per client and role, and give each client contact their own branded shortlist page — no more stitching profile links into an email.

  • Interview kits

    The job description, scorecard, question bank, take-home brief and interview schedule for each role in one folder. Interviewers join as free viewers and find their kit in seconds.

  • Candidate packets

    A branded page for candidates with the company overview, team pages, benefits, interview preparation and directions, sent with every interview invitation.

  • A sourcing toolkit

    Boolean search guides, sourcing tools, communities, job boards and salary benchmarks, tagged by role family and region, shared across the recruiting team.

  • Outreach snippets

    Save outreach, follow-up, scheduling and rejection messages as snippets and insert them — with the right careers or role link — into any message box in the browser by typing ;;.

Recruiting runs on links

The ATS holds the pipeline, but the working material of recruiting is links — and most of it never makes it into the ATS.

  • Profiles and portfolios pasted into emails to hiring managers
  • Interview kits spread across a doc, a spreadsheet and a calendar invite
  • Job descriptions in several versions across teams
  • Sourcing tools and searches that live in one recruiter’s bookmarks

Share a candidate shortlist without a login

Each saved link has two text fields that matter here. The description is visible on a shared page, so use it for the summary a hiring manager should read: “8 yrs product design, fintech, strong systems work.” The note is internal and never appears on a shared page, so it’s where your own impressions and next steps go. Share the role’s shortlist folder, add a password, set it to expire when the role is filled, and check share stats to see whether the hiring manager has opened the profiles.

Handle candidate information carefully

Treat shortlists as the sensitive material they are. Password-protect shared pages and give them an expiry date, or turn sharing off as soon as a decision is made. Inside the workspace, owners can restrict a folder to the people working a role, and individual links can be kept private. Linkbry isn’t an ATS or a system of record for candidate data — keep what you store to the links you need and follow your company’s data policies.

Pricing for recruiting teams

Recruiters who add and organize links are $10 a month each on Pro, or $100 a year. Hiring managers and interviewers you invite as viewers are free. A solo recruiter can start on the Free plan, with 100 links and shared pages included.

When Linkbry isn’t the right fit

Linkbry doesn’t track candidates through stages, schedule interviews, send emails for you or integrate with LinkedIn or an ATS. Use it next to those tools for the links they don’t organize well.

A starter workspace for recruiters

Share a role’s shortlist folder on its own, and keep interview kits in a sibling folder.

Frequently asked questions

How do I share a candidate shortlist with a hiring manager?

Save each candidate’s profile or portfolio link into a shortlist folder with a short summary as its description, then share the folder as a read-only page. The hiring manager opens it without an account; add a password and an expiry date to keep it contained.

Can the hiring manager see my notes on candidates?

Not on a shared page — notes, archived links and private links are never shown. If you invite hiring managers into the workspace as viewers, they’re members and can see notes on the links they have access to, so keep sensitive notes in restricted folders or share a page instead.

Is Linkbry an ATS?

No. It doesn’t track pipelines, stages or candidate communication. It organizes and shares the links around hiring — shortlists, interview kits, job descriptions and sourcing tools — next to whatever ATS you use.

Do interviewers need a paid seat?

No. Invite them as viewers — free and unlimited on Pro — and they can browse and search every folder they have access to, and insert links with the Chrome extension.

Does it work in LinkedIn and email?

The Chrome extension’s ;; picker works in text boxes in the browser, including webmail and messaging sites, and inserts a saved link or snippet where you’re typing. There’s no direct LinkedIn or ATS integration.
